[SOLVED]

Hey all,
Iv got a Coolruuner rev.b iv been trying to flash with the BCUSB.I am using the latest software build 330 and D3m0ns re-released version of the xilinx.bcs script.Got all pins hooked up (Inc. VCC & GND).Iv tried about everything i can think of so thats why im posting this :p. What happens is when everything is set up the way D3m0n says it just hangs up right from the start after selecting the .xsvf file.In the console tab it says "error in script xilinx.bcs on line 0" here are some screenshots.

Status tab: looks fine.

Console tab: 1st difference from D3m0n's should-look pics is "JTAG: Device only supports non-dma (PrAcc)...." other than the 315build (i tried to find a dl for one but couldn't).2nd thing and I am guessing the problem is "Error in script xilinx.bcs on line 0".

Xilinx CLPD tab: It gets stuck right off the bat.

Any thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated :).
Thanks,

LOL :p After working on this for 3 days and finally asking for help here i went and searched more after posting this for a older build (older than 330 but 315 or higher) i ended up finding BCUSB.RC15.315.7Z on mediafire containing build 318. extracted it and didnt even put D3m0n's Re-Written Xilinx.bcs script file in the dir. and it successfully ran the .xsvf file first time :) SUCCESS!!!

So anyone having problems programming their Coolrunner (or any other CPLD device im guessing)on build 330 just download build 318 and you should be good to go :)

Requesting Programmers to fix build 330 to be compatible with the TX Coolrunner or just fix it in the next build :)
 
Glad it is working , i will test this out on the coolrunner (Rev A) i have lying about and see if i have any issues.
I never re-wrote a Xilinx Script , the one in the pack is the original version from the developer .
 
Just checked there is a fault with Build330 , but works ok on build 326 , will try to see if i can rectify it
 
Thanks :) Works like a charm.
Ha ha i am sorry D3m0n.Yeah there is no re-written xilinx.bcs script file :p. I was totally getting confused with a firmware file you posted you either re-wrote it or it was from a previous release i don't remember. It was FCUSB.3.05.SPI.hex.What happens is when you flash your BCUSB with the version of the firmware (FCUSB.3.05.SPI.hex) that is released with build 330 windows does not recognize the usb device. i was having this issue until i flashed my BCUSB with the SPI firmware from your thread. thanks alot for that also man! keep up the good work.

thanks,
Shane
